Squash merge of feat/location-beacon-alerts-autopause (v1.21).
Features:
- Live Location Sharing — broadcast position as movement-gated [LOC]
messages to a channel or contact; live shares show as map pins with
distance/bearing in Nearby Nodes and a status-bar indicator. [LOC] is
parsed in DMs, channel messages and room messages; DM shares name the
sender.
- Locator (geofence) — arm a geofence around a saved waypoint or a person
(live [LOC] or last-known position), alert on arrive/leave or near/far,
with an optional homing beeper (gated to arrive/both modes). Arm from
Tools > Locator, Nearby Nodes, or Waypoints; target picker lists
favourites first, clearable via a "None" entry. Active target is drawn
as a flag on the map.
- One active target shared across Locator / Navigate / Map via a single
resolver (resolvePersonPos / activeTargetPos) that prefers a live
[LOC] share over the last-advertised GPS fix.
- Follow live contacts — Navigate to a live-sharing contact follows them
as they move and adds an ETA line; quick-share your own position from
the Map.
- Map & status-bar upgrades — home mini-map gets a north marker, scale
tick, and a connected trail line (was disconnected dots); status line
shows tracked-node count, an arrow + distance to the active Locator/Nav
target (falling back to the nearest live-tracked contact); GPS fix icon
in the top status bar, shown only on GPS boards with GPS enabled.
- Trail auto-pause — recording freezes on stops (banking elapsed time,
breaking the map line across the idle gap) and resumes on movement
without ending the session.
- Streaming trail simplification — GPS points are simplified in-stream
via a fixed-corridor (Reumann-Witkam) pass tuned for fidelity: straight
runs collapse to their endpoints, curves stay bounded to the Min-dist
tolerance, so the 512-point buffer covers a far longer route than a
flat point budget would suggest.
- Collapsible Tools (Location / Comms / System sections, fold-in-place
like Settings) and page-indicator icons on the home carousel.
- Waypoint coordinate editor — add a waypoint by scroll-editing lat/lon
digit by digit.
Fixes:
- Critical: low-heap hang and contact loss on RAM-tight builds. Halved
message-history scrollback rings (recovering ~14 KB free heap) and
made contacts/channels/prefs persistence atomic (temp file + rename),
so an interrupted save can no longer corrupt or wipe the store.
- Serial.write() bounded so a stalled USB host can't hang the device.
- Nearby Nodes: live [LOC] senders respect the type filter, sort by
shared position, and the list refreshes so live shares bubble up.
- Map: live contacts are labelled before waypoints.
- GPS status icon hidden when GPS is off in Settings.
- Splash screen no longer truncates a pre-release tag's own dash (e.g.
v1.21-rc1) when stripping the build's commit-hash suffix.
- Null-guarded the Locator target picker; clamped loc-share channel
index on load.
Under the hood:
- -Os size optimisation on the e-ink and GAT562 30S solo envs.

drawLine was duplicated verbatim in TrailScreen and CompassScreen, and
drawCircle lived only in CompassScreen. Lift both into a gfx:: namespace
header so the map and compass share one copy of each 1-px primitive.
